20 Years for Breastfeeding OD

Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office Detention Center

Stephanie Greene, 29, was found guilty of homicide by child abuse, involuntary manslaughter, and unlawful conduct toward a child. Greene killed her 46-day-old daughter Alexis via a fatal amount of morphine in her breast milk. Greene received a 20-year prison sentence on Friday as result, and will serve 80 percent of it until she is eligible for release. Greene apparently hid her pregnancy and breastfeeding from doctors so she could continue to be prescribed painkillers.
